Samuel Pritchard Matheson (September 20, 1852 May 19, 1942) Canadian clergyman, Archbishop of Rupert's Land, and fourth, as well as the longest-serving, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada. Born in the parish of Kildonan, Manitoba, the son of John and Catherine (Pritchard) Matheson, Matheson received a Bachelor of Divinity in 1879 from St. John's College, University of Manitoba, and a Doctor of Divinity degree in 1903. He was ordained a deacon in 1875 and a priest in 1876. He was Master of St. John's College and Professor of Exegetical Theology. In 1882, he was made a Canon of St. John's Cathedral in Winnipeg and Dean of Rupert's Land in 1902. In 1905 he became Archbishop of Rupert's Land and in 1909 was elected Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, serving until 1931. He resigned the Canadian primacy in September 1930 and his diocesan See on January 31, 1931. From 1908 to 1934, he was the 2nd Chancellor of the University of Manitoba. He founded Havergal Ladies' College in Winnipeg and was its president. William James Armitage (February 6, 1860 1929) Church of England in Canada (Anglican Church of Canada) Custodian. This is the first Book of Common Prayer for the Anglican Church of Canada (then known officially as "The Church of England in the Dominion of Canada"); prior to this the 1662 BCP of the Church of England was used. It is generally a very conservative revision of the 1662 BCP. Very little was changed in the main services (Morning and Evening Prayer, the Litany, and Holy Communion), although a number of occasional services were added, as may be seen in the Table of Contents below. The main reason for the lack of substantive change from the 1662 BCP was disagreements between the "low church" and "high church" parties. The high church party wanted a revised eucharistic rite along the lines of the 1549 liturgy (much as later appeared in the C of E 1928 BCP), while the low church party wanted to keep the 1662 with few, if any, changes. The result was that very few changes were made. Further information on the development of this book may be found in The Oxford Guide to the Book of Common Prayer, p. 186ff. A 1914 draft of this book is online from the Internet Archive. We also have online a book detailing the development of this Book of Common Prayer. This Book, while agreed to in 1918, was not authorized for use until Easter, 1922. It was in use in Canada until a revised BCP was issued in 1959. Like American BCP's since 1892, the pagination in all printings is identical (nearly all of which were all done by the Cambridge University Press). The original copy used here is a large and fairly elaborate printing, probably intended to be used as an altar book. The pages measure 29 x 19cm, and rubrics are in red, rather than the usual italics. It appears in David Griffiths' Bibliography of the Book of Common Prayer as 1922/2. Bound in a fine black leather binding with a matching slipcase. Lettered in gilt to the front board and the spine. Ornate inner gilt dentelles with the binders name in gilt Morrell Binder, London . An excellent presentation binding with only minimal very light rubbing to the odd edge or corner of the slipcase. MULTIPLE ADDITIONAL PHOTO IMAGES AVAILABLE. CONTACT US TO REQUEST.
